THE CLIMATE URGENCY

Setting sail for a new paradigm?

CIDSE report on global 1,5°C target

In the runup to the Poland climate conference of december 2018, this CIDSE report aims to explore how a fundamental paradigm shift in our food and energy systems could greatly contribute to limit the rise in average global temperature to 1.5°C. Let's not give up the fight!

FOSTERING AID EFFECTIVENESS

Website helps NGOs to perform better

Design of the ‘Grand Bargain’ website

The Grand Bargain is a UN and EU-initiated project to increase performance and effectiveness of humanitarian aid and emergency relief. The idea is to cut back on the backroom activities of NGOs: doing more for people in need with the same budget. The Grand Bargain identified 10 ‘workstreams’ or guiding principles to make this happen. With this website, that we designed for NGOVoice in cooperation with the Belgian Aid to Development Agency, staff from the NGO workfield can learn about the Grand Bargain good practices and share their experience by uploading their own project: https://www.grandbargain4ngos.org

SPREADING THE WORD

European farmers against climate change

SOLMACC publication on climate-friendly farming

Climate change is an enormous challenge for our European farmers. At the same time, agriculture contributes a lot to climate change, given its very substantial emissions. The Solmacc pilot project aims to build a European-wide knowledge base where 12 organic farmers from 3 countries use climate-friendly practices to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
